The annual Creighton Lodge gala will
be occurring April 20 and just like the
previous editions, those in attendance
can look forward to a four-course meal.
Shelly Veroba, who co-manages
Creighton Lodge alongside Judy Pratt,
said that tickets have already sold out
and at $100 a ticket, the lodge is looking
forward to using the money to resurface
their parking lots, which will be occurring this summer.
“We will be holding the gala in the
Beefeater Plaza. We can hold about 216
people and we might go up to 224 if it
is necessary. Every year we hold the gala
everyone gets very excited and we always
sell out of tickets early,” said Veroba.
“There will also be a silent auction,
the heads and tails game, and in the past
years we have had a diamond draw.”
In the past, there has been a vacation
draw during the gala, but that won’t happen this year. Still, Veroba expects it is
going to be another great night.
“We still feel the economy in Estevan
is not at the point that we want to start
asking people to spend $100 on a ticket
and then even more money to allow a
trip lottery to occur. We think that donor
fatigue is a real thing,” said Veroba.
“For our draws in April we are not going to have pre-sold tickets, people who
attend the gala are going to be the only
ones eligible to win the prizes we have
lined up for the evening,” she added.
Veroba noted that the lodge has always been successful and a great asset
to the community because of the unique
services it provides.
“Our fundraisers have normally been
very successful because we are the only
ones that provide seniors with a home
away from home. We give seniors a comfortable place to live and let them have

independence and we find they are very
happy here,” said Veroba. “We are the
stepping stone between living in your
own home and living in a nursing home.”
There are other sources of funding
that Creighton Lodge draws from to
keep its doors open and keep providing
quality care to its residents.
“We do not receive any provincial or
federal funding. We are owned by five
RM’s and we have been receiving funding from them since 2010 when they
took over the Creighton Lodge.”
“We are also a United Way member
agency so we are fortunate that United
Way also supports us. Their funding normally goes towards increasing the quality
of senior living at our facility with various programs and events that we hold.”
Creighton Lodge has six more capital
projects that will need funding in the future and they are roof replacement, crawl
space reinforcement, maintenance truck
replacement, whirlpool tub upgrades,
sidewalk replacement and additional
electrical plugins in each suite for the
residents.
Veroba is happy to have taken the
largest capital project off the list, which
is the resurfacing of their parking lots.
She said that has been a pressing issue
for a very long time and it needs to get
done.
“The parking lots will be all asphalt
and we will maintain our concrete pad
for our yearly barbecues. The south parking lot might not get redone depending
on how much it costs to redo our other
parking lots,” said Veroba.
“We had drainage issues with our
parking lots and nothing could be done
until those issues were sorted out. We
had one bad drainage issue where the
water would pool at the back of our
building and all those issues have been
sorted out so we are ready to resurface
our parking lots,” she added.
